Comment(by ultramegaman):

 It seems that the calls to LoadLibrary would be exploitable if:

 * Pidgin is currently closed

 * Pidgin was opened via a file association

 * The associated file's location contained a IMAGEHLP.DLL file in the same
 directory

 * The functions within exchndl.dll containing LoadLibrary calls were
 invoked
